After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Huang Tianming.

The young master of the Hu Hai Huang Family enterprise, two years older than Zhu Yulan.

Grew up on an old street and was, as people commonly say, childhood friends with her.

Huang Tianming was a typical rich second generation, always causing trouble since he was a kid, got expelled from high school for fighting and almost crippling a classmate, the public outcry was too severe for other schools to even consider taking him.

Later on, he was sent abroad by his family, got a degree for show at a prestigious university, and then seemingly made a lot of money overseas with some business, turning himself into a paragon of Hu Hai's entrepreneurial rich second generations.

Moreover, the Huang Family and Zhu Family had a good relationship, with the elders having some business dealings between them.

Plus, with Huang Tianming and Zhu Yulan being childhood friends,

the families had initially some plans for a powerful alliance.

However, following Huang Tianming's multitude of ridiculous deeds, the matter was shelved.

But these past two years, Huang Tianming's overseas business operations appeared quite impressive, and he himself seemed to have changed, humble and polite to everyone, giving off the vibe that the prodigal son had returned, refusing to exchange his newfound wisdom for gold.

After returning, Huang Tianming actively brought up these matters again, and regarding Zhu Yulan, he had been infatuated with her since they were kids.

Thus, both families were preparing to bring up the old topic once more.

All of this could be summed up with a Mary Sue-style headline.

"Rebellious youth, endures three years abroad to become a dragon king, returning only to win his childhood sweetheart's heart!"

Of course, this "dragon king" was now so frustrated he was almost bending his mouth out of shape!

Before coming back from abroad, he sent Zhu Yulan many messages, but she always ignored them.

Even when he blatantly and covertly invited her out to eat, she simply gave him an indifferent "I'm busy."

That's why he thought of extending an invitation in person, believing the stubborn girl would be unable to resist a persistent man, especially with their childhood friends buff—he was convinced Zhu Yulan would be his someday.

But unexpectedly, she was out dining with someone else, and judging by the reaction of that young girl just now, it was likely a guy!

Huang Tianming was almost about to twist the steering wheel into pieces. There are a lot of KFCs in Hu Hai.

But Huang Tianming knew Zhu Yulan well, she usually only dined in the business districts in the city center.

Finally, driving his car, Huang Tianming spotted that Ferrari parked by the roadside.

His gaze turned to a KFC storefront not far away.

Right by the street-side window, he saw the figure he had been longing for.

In his memory, Zhu Yulan was always cool and behaved like a typical young lady.

But at that moment...

"Hey! That chicken wing is mine! You've already had quite a few."

"You haven't even finished your Crispy Strip, who told you to eat so leisurely. Give it here!"

"Pah! I'm maintaining table manners, you have the nerve to fight me for food when you're treating me, give it to me!"

Zhu Yulan might have gotten used to the atmosphere of dining in such places, where surrounding kids would clamor and squabble over food.

She just reached over and snatched the chicken wing from Xu Musen's hands, biting into it and leaving a neat row of teeth marks, then put the wing down again, triumphantly saying, "See if you dare to fight me for it now."

Her triumphant look could have made one think she had snatched a project worth billions from someone else.

Xu Musen couldn't help but chuckle, "Not maintaining table manners now, are we?"

Zhu Yulan's delicate cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but she still glared at him, "Mind your own business, I'm still way better than you."

Zhu Yulan had started her meal using disposable gloves and a napkin, delicately eating the fried chicken.

But Xu Musen just grabbed and gnawed, and after finishing, even sucked on his fingers.

That made her go "Eh."

"That's so unhygienic."

After all, the table manners she had been taught since childhood didn't even allow for directly touching food, let alone lowering one's head too much while eating.

However, such dining etiquette clearly wasn't suitable for the lively atmosphere of KFC, where everyone ate with their hands, and sucking on one's fingers after eating made it seem especially delicious. Experience more content on empire

No wonder they say finger-licking good.

"What's so unhygienic about this? Eating this is just like eating spicy strips, it's all about sucking on your fingers at the end, why don't you try it?"

Xu Musen held out his own fingers for her to see.

Zhu Yulan spat disdainfully, but gradually she too started eating the drumstick directly, her delicate lips catching some oil.

It looked like she had applied a layer of lipstick, and her white slender fingers got stained with seasoning, as if she had put on a layer of nail polish.

Xu Musen smiled, "Actually, when you eat like this, it feels a lot more normal. There's a way to enjoy a western meal, and there's a way to eat fried chicken properly, eating with your hands like this is much more delicious."

"Using tools is the biggest difference between humans and wild beasts."

"You can't say that, anyone who uses a fork and knife for hot pot, I could laugh at them for a lifetime."

"Pfft..."

Zhu Yulan instantly had that image in her mind and couldn't help but laugh, then choked on the fried chicken and coughed a few times.

Xu Musen passed her some tissues.

Zhu Yulan, wiping away the tears that she coughed up, looked at him, "You and your twisted logic!"

The two of them bickered back and forth, indeed resembling the way friends interact.

Zhu Yulan also had to admit, although the meal wasn't elegant, it was truly enjoyable.

Normally in those high-end restaurants, even speaking required controlling one's tone.
